One of the more interesting things about it is that the busses have to cross over each other so the doors are on the correct side for passenger pickup, which is REALLY FUCKING CONFUSING when you don’t know that and you’re watching the southbound traffic fly past a northbound bus stop.
I can’t dump on it too much though. There are definitely worse uses for the anus of an interchange.
I haven’t been in LA much but I really do have to wonder how the hell anyone can distinguish between cruising and normal highway speed there.
Aside from the obvious, I mean.
Easy. There are only two speeds on the highways in Cali: speeding and parking lot. There is no in between.
Come to think of it, I did see a lot of people go about Mach 7.3 when I was waiting for a bus in the middle of eight lanes of traffic on the freeway.
Which is one of the more… interesting… choices for a bus stop placement I’ve seen and I’ve seen a few.
Was there a patch of concrete only around the bus station? A sidewalk the ends abruptly? Was the bus stop 1/2 a mile from anywhere useful?
Basically all of those. Found this:
